I wonder if any of these African rally cars are still around? Gary

 

Picture # 48989 - Amc engineers checking out competition. For all the parts they used from the big 3 it might have been they were picking out the best parts for their cars. lol

 

Pack test

 

Cruisin'

 

soon he sticks out his legs, yaba - daba - dooo... for sure he'll reach a nice gas mileage this way..

 

Hey, Gary, is that a '51 Olds 98, the less-celebrated 303?

 

I think thats Pomona

 

one of these Comets still races in northern calif it runs in r vintage races and is restored to the red white blue colours.....

 

Very cool old shot !!

 

Might this be the one? Gary

 

I spoke with the owner, Mr. John Kirby-Miller, at the Monterey Historics many years ago. He bought the car from Ak Miller in 1965 and set it up for road racing, after a few years he garaged it and one day decided to clean it up and vintage race it. It is the real deal.
